P2025/2527/TRE Awaiting decision
58, Highbury Hill, London, N5 1AP
We propose pruning the Willow Tree in the rear garden of 58 Highbury Hill, London, N5 1AP. This tree was last pruned in 2021 and is in need of pruning given the 4 years of growth since. We propose that for this Willow Tree we: • Reduce the canopy by 33%. This would be undertaken using a combination of crown thinning and crown reduction, i.e. "drop-crotching” or “reduction via thinning” • Remove any deadwood and branch stubs (to the branch collar) that exist as a consequence of previous poor and unprofessional pruning. We propose all these works be undertaken by a reputable and professional tree surgeon working to BS 3998. The willow tree is within influencing distance of our property and geological maps indicate that the soils are shrinkable. Besides providing professional management of the tree, the works proposed would also reduce the subsidence risk to the property where there has been historical suspected subsidence due to the tree. In future we propose maintaining the willow tree at this reduced size via pruning by a professional tree surgeon working to BS 3998 every 3 - 5 years.
